How much efficient is the thick in thin smear in surveillance of malaria particularly if the high-risk individual is asymptomatic?
- Antimicrobial resistance refers to the ability of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, to resist the effects of antimicrobial drugs, such as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitic drugs. AMR is a global public health concern as it can lead to treatment failures, increased healthcare costs, and higher morbidity and mortality rates.
- AMR surveillance involves monitoring the occurrence and spread of antimicrobial resistance in different settings, including healthcare facilities, communities, and animal agriculture. It aims to collect data on resistance patterns, identify emerging resistant strains, and track the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments over time.
- In Pakistan, like in many other countries, AMR surveillance plays a crucial role in understanding the extent and impact of antimicrobial resistance. By collecting and analyzing data on resistance patterns, healthcare professionals and policymakers can make informed decisions regarding treatment guidelines, infection control practices, and antibiotic stewardship programs.
- In recent years, there have been efforts to strengthen AMR surveillance in Pakistan. The National Antimicrobial Resistance Action Plan (NAP) was launched in 2017 to address the growing threat of AMR in the country. The plan aims to improve surveillance systems, promote rational use of antibiotics, strengthen infection prevention and control measures, and enhance public awareness about AMR.

Weather and climate conditions significantly impact the incidence and geographical distribution of several diseases. Extreme weather events such as heatwaves, floods, and droughts alter disease transmission ecologies and population vulnerability, thereby influencing risk for climate-sensitive disease. For example, increased temperature and rainfall induced by climate change and extreme weather events (such as storms or cyclones) are projected to increase the risk of malaria due to a greater geographical range for the Anopheles mosquito vector, a longer season, and enhanced vector breeding and disease transmission rates. Risk monitoring and mitigation strategies are therefore importance to preserve the health of populations.
Developing integrated surveillance can greatly enhance the capacity of health systems to prepare and adapt to climate-sensitive diseases. Integrated surveillance involves the integration of multiple surveillance systems (e.g. disease surveillance and weather surveillance) to improve the use of information for detecting, investigating and responding to public health threats. This integration of data, therefore, improves the flow of surveillance information throughout the health system.
Importantly, climate-informed surveillance can enhance the preparedness of health systems via early warning systems. Early warning systems aim to anticipate risks and trigger early warning responses to avoid or reduce impact and prepare for effective response. In the context of a rapidly changing environment and risk landscape, early warning systems are a valuable tool for building the adaptive capacity and climate-resilience of health systems.
The field of environmental communication teaches that how we communicate about our environment shapes not only what we think about it, but most importantly, what we do about it. Or as Greta Thunberg is the latest to remind us, what we don’t do about it.
How we frame our communication matters. Framing is positioning messages in ways that draw on audiences’ mental models to favour specific perspectives on an issue.

I'm looking for a database that contains unedited surveillance style videos of crimes occurring. I will be using Video Data Analysis to answer various questions about the crimes, so all types of crimes are welcome. I've use YouTube and similar sources in the past but there are methodological issues with this technique and limited sources.
Regarding the animal trapping, such as rats:
1) How to calculate the number of animals that are used for disease surveillance study? Is it based on the size of the sampling location or other factors?
2) Is the calculation of sample size for roaming animals different if the animals are on the ground, at sea or in the air?
Thank you.

I am making use of a multiphase mixed-methods study to develop, implement and evaluate an injury surveillance system.
In the first study, I am making use of an exploratory sequential design, where the participant's perceptions (qualitative approach) will be used to build a context-sensitive framework, through which quantitative data (weekly survey) about injury rates can be captured (second study). Since the quantitative part is a longitudinal study, collecting data from the same population, I am also analysing the end-users engagement with the system, based on the weekly response rate.
At the end of this, I will be evaluating the surveillance system as a practical tool for end-users through qualitative data (third study). This will be done by analyzing response rates from the prior quantitative study and identifying a purposeful sample of participants based on their response rates and their engagement with the system.
Now, the question is, should I call this design a sequential explanatory one? I am confused as I am only using one outcome (weekly engagement) from the second study and trying to explain it through qualitative means.

With the daily updates on COVID-19 cases and deaths, I am trying to understand the algorithm behind the assignment of the cause of death.
I was wondering how doctors evaluate and assign the cause of death?
E.g. if someone has a heart attack, following COVID-19 infection (while they are infected - not post recovery) and this person had metabolic syndrome (let's say all dyslipidemia, hypertension and hyperglycaemia) how to we make a decision if the cause death is COVID-19 or diabetes or cardiovascular disease?
To me the guideline given for the assignment of COVID-19 death in Australia seems to have an inherent bias towards COVID-19:
"As per the COVID-19 national guidelines, a COVID-19 death is defined for surveillance purposes as a death in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID19 (e.g. trauma)."
But I actually do not wish to restrict my question to COVID-19. Instead, I am trying to understand in general how we calculate mortality rates for different diseases, as these numbers inform policy and how funds are allocated.
Especially for complex metabolic conditions, like cardiometabolic ones, how do we decide if someone with type 2 diabetes, and vascular damage potentially due to hyperglycaemia, that had a stroke, will be assigned to the diabetes deaths toll or to the cardiovascular deaths toll?
How does e.g. WHO come up with:
9.5 million deaths from heart attack per annum
6 million deaths from stroke per annum
2 million deaths from diabetes per annum
Is there a guideline given to doctors regarding a decision-roadmap to assign the cause of death?
1. Where can you find surveillance data of Non-communicable data of different countries?
2. What types of research/study design are usually done in this case?
May I offer my posit. SARS-COV-2 may have some part which is immuno-antigenically similar to some component of human makeup, resulting in this autoimmune state. This may also be related to the Hypercytokine Storm we are seeing in adults, again, over-reaction of the immune system to the virus. I dare say I am old enough to be able to compare this to the Scarlet Fever/Rheumatic Fever days, leading to cardiac valvular attack by a similar reaction of autoimmunity, stimulated by hyperactivity of the immune system to antigenically similar infectious particles. Thank you. Gary Ordog, MD. In response to the following:

-Rapid risk assessment: Pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome and SARS -CoV-2 infection in children
-The ECDC has published a Rapid Risk Assessment on pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome and SARS -CoV-2 infection in children.
-According to ECDC, several countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic recently reported cases of children that were hospitalized in intensive care due to a rare pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS). The presenting signs and symptoms are a mix of the ones for Kawasaki disease (KD) and toxic shock syndrome (TSS) and are characterized, among others, by fever, abdominal pain and cardiac involvement. A possible temporal association with SARS-COV-2 infection has been hypothesized because some of the children that were tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection were either positive by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or serology.
-The ECDC noted that about 230 suspected cases of this new pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection (PIMS-TS) have been reported in EU/EEA countries and the UK in 2020, including two fatalities- one in the UK and one in France. These cases are being further investigated.
-"So far, epidemiological studies have shown that children appear to be less affected by COVID-19. Only 2.1% of all laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases reported to The European Surveillance System (TESSy) were in the age group between 0 and 14 years of age", the agency stated.
-The ECDC also added that an association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and this new clinical entity of multisystem inflammation has not yet been established to date, although an association appears plausible. The ECDC assessed the risks as follows:
-The overall risk of COVID-19 in children in the EU/EEA and UK is currently considered low, based on a low probability of COVID-19 in children and a moderate impact of such disease.
-The overall risk of PIMS-TS in children in the EU/EEA and the UK – is considered low, based on a very low probability of PIMS-TS in children and a high impact of such disease.
-"While the clinical management of these children has absolute priority, data collection from EU/EEA Member States and the UK would strengthen the body of knowledge for this rare condition and allow for a better analysis of these cases. An analysis of surveillance data could clarify the incidence of KD/PIMS and identify the most affected age groups and risk factors for both conditions", the ECDC noted.
-ECDC has agreed with the EU/EAA Member States and the UK to include PIMS as a possible complication to be reported for EU-level COVID-19 surveillance. According to the agency, research efforts should aim at determining the role of SARS-CoV-2 in the pathogenesis of PIMS-TS and answering other significant remaining questions.

After this Covid-19 crisis, our next relevant challenge will be a global surveillance network involving "VETERINANS" and "ANIMAL BIOLOGISTS" to MONITOR, and possibly to predict, potential sources of another highly pathogenic Covid. It will be necessary to prepare a "PLATFORM " to facilitate scientific exchange across disciplines (Large BrainStorming) , sharing of data, old and recents resultats of resarch, and coordinated efforts to prevent future Sanitary CRISIS.
Immune mechanisms play an integral role in tumor growth establishment and metastases. Immunoediting is a dynamic process which contributes to immuno surveillance to keep under control It is made up of three phases: 1) elimination, 2) equilibrium, and 3) escape.
1. Elimination: Most immunologically vulnerable tumour antigens may eliminate by elimination phase immune editing as host’s immune system is capable of recognizing these cells
2. Equilibrium: However, constant division can generate tumour cells with reduced immunogenicity that can evade the immune elimination because of the genetic instability. This state of production of new tumor cell variants balanced by the distraction has been dubbed “equilibrium”, during which the cancer cells continue to divide, accumulating mutational changes by chance or in response to immune-induced inflammation.
3. Escape: These processes gradually come to a situation where tumours are capable of reducing the capacity of the immune system, to eradicate them by achieving immune suppressive effects or by loss of target antigen expression. Consequently tumour escapes from immuno surveillance and progression of carcinogenesis will occur. Nonetheless, there may be conditions under which tumor cells are truly dormant, for example by induction of “senescence”. In this case, they would be likely to remain dormant permanently, as replicative senescence is generally believed to be irreversible.
Microbiome studies based on ‘omic’ technologies have provided the laboratory evidence on disease associated in metabolic diseases and cancer (non infectious origin). These microbes especially bacteria are the most metabolically versatile organisms in the world, which can adopt to any environment, even changing their genetic potential, using mechanisms such as horizontal gene transfer. Thus cancer associated microbiome dominated by inflammaphilic periodontopathogens can be found in OSCC tumour micro environment.Furthermore, in-vitro experiments have provided substantial information on carcinogenicity of P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum.
I would like to start a meaningful discussion on immune responses of the host to 'cancerbiome induced inflammation' which can retard the 'immuno surveillance ' in oral carcinogenesis. For an example , retardation of 1st and 2 nd steps in immuno editing, which may cause immuno suppression, where tumour could escape from immuno surveillance. For an example well known periodonto pathogens such as P. gingivalis or F. nucleatum., how they can contribute to immuno suppression of the host which may lead tumour cells to escape from immuno surveillance ?
I'm currently employing a sequential mixed-methods approach, including an initial exploratory phase and a final explanatory phase. The initial phase is a qual -> QUANT, with the primary aim to understand the context of the stakeholders so as to design a context-specific surveillance system. The second phase is the collection of data through quantitative means and explaining it through the qualitative findings from the initial part, in other words integrating qualitative and quantitative findings. The third phase, i.e. the evaluation phase is a quant-> QUAL.
the question is: should I make use of a dialectic perspective, i.e. constructivism and post-positivism under the heading of pragmatism or should I explain this primarily from a pragmatism point of view, without considering the multiple paradigms?
Do you think, one day the technology will be developed by which each and every single human being can be monitored continuously without any device with them; just sensing their DNA barcode? Their location, activities, temperature, wellbeing, etc.
Dear all
After reading the book "The age of surveillance capitalism" seems evident that big data will influence our decisions in the close future (if it is not already happening). According to this reality, it seems that the classical approach of segmentation will no longer be useful.
I would like to know your opinion about this
I am currently designing an intervention (injury surveillance system) to be implemented within an organization. This research (following a pragmatic paradigm) will follow a multiphase mixed methods research consisting of QUAL -> QUANT -> QUAL.
The initial qualitative part will be conducted through interviews with the stakeholders of the organization in order to understand their perspectives with regards to the intervention; to identify barriers and facilitators to implementing the intervention and to design the intervention that best fits with the organizational needs.
My question is this: I am not sure which qualitative approach do I have to consider in this first part of the study. I am approaching this study from a pragmatic world view and hence I do not know whether this part requires a specific qualitative approach.
Self-treatment or over the counter drugs. is use of medication without consulting a physician either for diagnosis, prescription, or surveillance of treatment.
The most widely self-medicated substances are over-the-counter drugs used to treat common health issues at home. It involves obtaining medication without prescription and taking medicines on advice of and from friends and relatives.
Is self -medication illegal or at least an incorrect method of treatment?
Data and accessibility services for persons with disabilities
Many people have privacy concerns particular data as more personal and sensitive than others, I think people's privacy concerns differ according to the purpose for which data is collected, with the contrast between service and surveillance purposes most paramount.
People must know for which purpose data is used and weigh the benefits that providing their data may offer them. When these benefits are of immediate personal relevance e.g. accessibility, medical, access services, I think most people are willing to share their data.

I was wondering if anyone had any expertise on the fourth amendment pertaining to electronic surveillance.
Would prospective warrantless StingRay searches that track a criminal to their own private residence be constitutional.

Given the limited info on the birth certificate, which would be a better predictor of adequate prenatal care, the Kotelchuck or the Kessner index.
Are there molecular-based methods to be used in a routine laboratory for the detection of antimicrobial susceptibilities and resistances in Helicobacter pylori?
In the wake of the Snowden leaks, the public has learned that the sheer technical scale of surveillance goes beyond what has usually been thought possible, such as a "full take" of internet communication. The picture emerges that intelligence agencies are prominent users and drivers of "big data" technology. But from the media reporting, capabilities remain rather unclear, certainly also because of the variety of different surveillance programs, the complexity of the technology, and of course secrecy.
I would like to know more about what the technologies employed are and how far technical capabilities go. Since it may be a vast topic, let me narrow the question down: I would like to learn about data analysis capabilities, not about the use of cryptology or computer security research for surveillance. The focus is on mass surveillance rather than spying on specific target persons. I am interested in efforts to make society as a whole "machine-readable" by using techniques such as data mining, machine learning, social network analysis etc.
Especially interesting are things like:
- the intent to build a comprehensive social graph of large population segments [1]
- the use of social media and other data streams to anticipate political events such as protests, civil unrest etc., e.g. [2]
Can you point to publications? Work done in the service of surveillance and contributions of computer scientists to the critical debate around the issue would be equally interesting.
As specialist in IT and data security I think about increased influence of internet services, social plugins, smartphones, common data bases, cloud computing, etc. on our everday life. There is a lot of shared information which may be useful in users identification, and sometimes it may be used against us. Are we aware of it? Where is the limit of published personal data?
Opening question for first phase of foresight research.
This question comes about from the reading this article: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/11/131111122107.htm
Advanced digital surveillance technology can help law enforcement be more efficient. But this same technology can also create mistrust within a community due to the potential of abuse and misuse. With respect to public places, where there is no expectation of privacy, should additional regulations be introduced to better balance the efficiencies and the public feeling of freedom? Or would additional regulations simply create more bureaucracy for law enforcement that would lessen the value of digital surveillance or impede their ability to protect their community?
I'm particularly interested in it from an actual/virtual Deluezean sense, or in terms of Baudrillard's simulacrum, where the (in this instance surveillance data) is not a copy or data-double in the sense used in surveillance studies, but is truth in itself. Haven't seen anything useful, but may be looking in the wrong places...
